      before creation must come destruction. And if you think destruction of kindness and empathy; replacing it with oppression and violence, is not happening constantly then I don’t know what to tell you.

          Its not brave or moral to let a machine designed to harm people continue operating, even if it requires violence to stop it. It is not more ‘mature’ to let millions get crushed under the boot heel to avoid discomfort for others. We have to build better while we destroy the systems that are hurting us, but those systems need to be destroyed.

          I think many people choose to use violence to bad ends, like the garnering of profit, the division of people into an under- and overclass or the enforcement of the status quo. However, this does not mean that I condemn their violence for being violence, I believe violence is necessary for change. Look at, for example, at the civil rights movement. If violence is used to the right end, it can be good.

          Is that the lesson you want to teach them about how to deal with their problems?

          Literally the exact opposite. Don’t wait for a revolution to happen, make things better now

          you have said so many words that to unpack them all one would have to write an extebsive essay.

          but i know you wouldnt read it anyway, youd rather think you are morally superior being “anti-violence.” (probably while being coddled in your imperial-core state)
